Advanced Flamenco Dancing : Hand Movements in Advanced Flamenco Dancing

[fablagos]

The middle finger is used in old traditional Flamenco for the women dancers. If you are a male dancing, then you start with the pinky. This is the correct, old school way od doing the floreo in Flamenco. She is doing a fine job instructing this!

ahahahahahahaha

don't learn with this bad example you have to start with your first finger not with the middle one

[reggaetao]

Hey I have a question for people saying this is a bad example - I don't know about the technique so I can't judge that. But my question is: can you direct me to a video with a good example of technique for flamenco hand movements? Thanks!

Alguien puede darme un link/una pagina con un bueno ejemplo de los manos? (Si dicen que este no esta bueno...) Gracias!

horrible¡¡¡ stop that ¡¡¡¡

[arroba102]

Que alguien quite este video... This is a shame. Please, don't learn of her!!!

Por qué? no está haciendolo bien?

@SraLoca Lo hace pesimo. Observa los brazos de esta mujer mientras mueve sus manos. En primer lugar los codos deberian estar apuntando hacia arriba todo el tiempo, y mientras realiza el floreo (el mov. de manos) lo unico que se deberia mover es la muñeca y los dedos, todo el resto del brazo deberia mantenerse intacto. Para lograr esto solo se necesita un poco de practica hasta que la flexibilidad de la muñeca sea tal que te permita aislar el movimiento. Esto lo sabe un principiante

The only thing that I have to say is the thumbs should not be sticking out, and the movement should be from the wrist not from the elbows.

thank you for posting these. They are very helpful. I also love the teacher she is really good at explaining the steps and seems like a very nice person.
